11、5 I 0732290 0549342 711 = FOREWORD This Recommended Practice (RP) was developed under the jurisdiction of the Amen- can Petroleum Institutes (APIs) former Committee on Offshore Safety and Anti-Pollution Training and Motivation (OSAPTM), and its parent API Production Department Executive Committee on
12、 Training and Development. It has been prepared with the overall advisory guidance of the API, the Offshore Operators Committee (OOC), the Western States Petroleum Association (WSPA), the International Association of Drilling Contractors (IADC), and the Helicopter Safety Advisory Conference (HSAC).
13、The purpose of this Rec- ommended Practice is to provide guidelines for development of orientation programs for personnel going offshore for the first time. The protection of life and the environment are important factors in all drilling and pro- ducing operations. However, the higher risks associat
14、ed with offshore operations demand correspondingly greater emphasis on safety and pollution prevention. Offshore companies have met this challenge by developing policies, standards, practices, andor procedures that will provide the necessary protection to offshore personnel and the environment. Thes
15、e safety and pollution prevention efforts include defining and providing proper training for all personnel who normally work offshore. One special area of concern is the new employee going offshore for the first time. New employees must receive the advance basic orientation and/or instruction necess
16、ary to protect themselves during transit to the off- shore work point and on the offshore location. A lesser need exists for visitors and others, such as inspectors, who are not directly employed in the offshore operations. This publication includes usage of the verbs shall and should, whichever is
17、the more applicable to the function. Both shall and should are positive statements and should be treated as such. For the purpose of this publication the following definitions apply: Shall: Indicates that the function has universal applicability to the specific activity. Should: Indicates that: (1)
18、the function may have an alternate practice that is equivalent and should be applied; or (2) the practice may not be practical or necessary under certain conditions; or (3) the practice may not be applicable to the specific facility or configura- tion. API publications may be used by anyone desiring
19、 to do so. Every effort has been made by the Institute to assure the accuracy and reliability of the data contained in them; however, the Institute makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee in connection with this pub- lication and hereby expressly disclaims any liability or responsibility for
20、 loss or damage resulting from its use or for the violation of any federal, state, or municipal regulation with which this publication may conflict. Suggested revisions are invited and should be submitted to the director of the Explo- ration and Production Department, American Petroleum Institute, 1

22、sitors. The orientation pro- grams should ensure that all new personnel know what is expected of them during the first trip offshore, as well as what they may expect to encounter during this trip. Em- ployers have the option, of course, to institute broader pro- cedures commensurate with their own p
23、olicies and standards. 2 Coverage Section 4 of this Recommended Practice is a checklist that outlines the items that should be included in the new employee orientation. Section 5 contains examples of ori- entation material for which instruction should be provided to the new employee. 3 Training Resp
24、onsibilities and Records Employers are responsible for their employees training. The person in charge at the offshore location is responsible for providing any on-site time necessary to accomplish the training described in this Recommended Practice. As ap- propriate and acceptable to the employer, t
25、he instructions may be provided by the person in charge. Employers shall maintain a record at a local or central location of the train- ing each of their employees receives in accordance with the provision of this Recommended Practice. Documentation of the training shall be furnished on those employ
26、ees whose assigned work location varies. 4 Checklist to Assist Companies in Developing an Orientation Program for Personnel Going Offshore for the First Time 4.1 GENERAL The following is a recommended list of topics designed to assist employers in accordance with their own policies and procedures to
27、 develop training and orientation pro- grams for personnel going into offshore operations for the first time.
